dont be mistaken by our newest family members modest ways, his well-manneredaloofness, his unagitated presence. max buschfelds inner calm not only makes him glowfrom the outside, it all the more makes him bring out some very individual and imaginativesounds and melodies.

anhura vinyls debut in the exclusive and acclaimed vinyl edition is, as it was expected, a complete success. max chapman & aj christou are in charge of gruds & kecks. this release starts with a moderate disco house nearly background melody at some points, and evolves into more tech grounds which plunge us directly in a deep, retro-spatial sphere. a place where this electronic and bass sounds coming from the 80s and 90s provide it with amazing timelessness whenever it is heard. it is an uncommon release diverging from the mainstream and ideal to start a completely promising series.

he works of conrad schnitzler will always be important. not only for m=minimal. ricardo villalobos and max loderbauer were so fascinated by the zug that they immediatly accepted to deliver two reshapes of this milestone of electronic music. (we already released zug on vinyl - mm-001lp) max loderbauer is a veteran of the berlin techno scene, who became known with his project >sun electric<. for his current project nsi and as a member of the >moritz von oswald trio< max loderbauer enjoys a worldwide reputation. his great cooperation with ricardo villalobos, for the legendary ecm label, appears in many >best of 2011< lists. richardo villalobos is one of the leading techno dj / producer / musicians. he influenced the scene for more than 15 years. the >aktion< mix targets with 100 percent certainty on the dance floor, but is also suited to wake you up in the morning. djs need this twenty minute mix as a tool. burner. the >sorgenkind< mix is not for the mainfloor but for fans of the broken beats. everybody who enjoyed the re-ecm work of the two will love this 15 minutes mix. schnitzler / loderbauer / villalobos = dreamteam

moon harbour artist chris lattner joins up with karina junker for his perhaps last original track. >so he finally called?< rolls with a deep flow and melodic sound bites to the floor, while karina speaks with an incredibly sexy timbre. fabian reichelt & raycoux jr. & stefan barth - whether as driving, clubbing tech house, atmospheric deephouse dub or fabians slow down elektronika remix - by piano and voice all obsirnth variations get obtained in their own distinctive touch. latest news of raycoux&barth, the guys did it again with their new release >swing it like<. combined with / coupled with short vocal parts the catchy maintheme whips to the front. suitable for the dance floor from first kick until last hi-hat. with >deep flower<, pascal augner aka beatamines supplies a friendly tech house track that already divines the open air spirit. after his album on damm records, the erfurt guy is back on polar-rec to live out his deeper side. completly new is max nippert a young talent from gera. last year he earned a lot of respect at berlins club kater holzig with his energetic dj-sets. his first release is a bulky but atmospheric techno track.

it has been half a year since we released the last max cooper ep on traum, so his new finished ep comes in handy for all of his fans and people interested in the grey zone of techno vs. electronica. max coopers new release the >egomodal ep< comes as a 4 tracks ep and adds up to a great piece of music. once again it focuses on dynamics and tangents, along with the concept of complexity and simplicity. the >egomodal ep< stays true to max coopers approach to link a mathematical structure with a simple one. we are happy to say he has succeeded to fuse complexity with variations by still finding time to focus on details and keeping up that nice randomness which makes his music so appealing also for clubbers and djs.
this release is extremely diverse in styles and offers in its vinyl version everything from the dark detroit electro styled techno piece >epitaphy< that evokes old detroit days… to the melodically trembling >autumn haze< that is a huge track because its flow is superbly programmed ... to rippertons mighty house hymn of a remix, ending in the basseline monster >raw< which looses its teeth towards the end.

on brothers in loves first release, max k. gets right down to business introducing himself and this family project: booming kick drums, thumping toms side by side with sharp hi-hats and staccato claps. machine grooves with sounds as raw as the musical approach of the artist. >losing your cool< builds on a massive kick drum, with a tom groove shuffling the track. it develops into a late summer bloom, which is over as fast as this years berlin summer was – with piercing percussion to remind you that winter is already here! >overdrive<, the first track on the flip, starts as a heavy slow groover with thumping kick, crashing snare and acidic synth lines until a punishing hook enters knocking you upside the head. the second track on the b-side, >indulgence< comes disguised as a stepper with a raw, pulsating analog bass line, but reaches its apex with a whirling synth lead on top of a vocal that could never be classified as your ordinary preachapella.

let the show begin, this is the first episode for marc poppckes new baby crossfrontier audio. time to clean your musical mind, here we go… from house to trance, next to techno and back to house again. for sure this is no space for hand-me-down standards.
a1 – marc poppcke & max von valentiner – never go backimagine berlin, imagine sunrise, imagine the party you left some minutes ago… haha, i know what’s on your mind. and no, i don’t mean those cute summer open air venues your tourist guide talks about. it’s november and the berlin summer has gone. it’s cold, it’s foggy, the shafts of sunlight have to find their way… and yes, it’s fucking beautiful and so is the track.
a2 – lake people – tellap tacleipzig is calling. well known for his debut on kollektiv turmstrasses musik gewinnt freunde lake people impresses with his minimalistic trademark sound that dares to be melodic as well. great stuff for prime times and big rooms but keep away from pyro shows.

max coopers returns to traum with his brand new >empirisch< ep. he opens his ep with >echoes reality< and we realise right away this might be another cornerstone of max coopers musical carrier. inspiring and beautifully crafted as it moves from wonderful lush sounds to a sequences of screeching tones and back to heavenly sounds, >echoes reality< shows all signs of an etamorphosis deluxe realised on the highest possible level of production. from roaring basslines to cadillac squeaking tires to ambrosial vocals ... this is max cooper at his best and a true tour de force.

we are lucky to present antonio olivieris second ep on lust und freude musik and we hope that it wont bet he last. after the well recieved luf004 the italian rising star presents another masterpiece on white vinyl which will let the sun shine bright in every dancers heart. the three tracker ep called >home< contains three pretty different tracks which have one thing in common: summer feeling!

the second serving from schmorgasbord brings together two relatively disparate and unrelated artists, but who both share a uniquely twisted approach to making music. s-max has been doing his thing for some time, running legendary home all things bizarre in house and techno, boogizm, and releasing a special kind of groove on labels such as telegraph, 7th city and karloff. his original track, >ms. rosen dub<, swaggers and sways with the spirit of classic yorkshire bleeps and bass. the groove is house, but the spirit of adventure is most definitely techno. his remix of spatials >corti< takes a very different approach, taking a rolling, jungle-like approach to dubstep and nailing it to the groove with stabbing bass notes. spatial leapt onto the bass music radar late 2008 with his shadowy infrasonics imprint, and quickly snapped heads with his crisp, refined approach to 2-step rhythms. since then he’s done things on his own terms, only releasing for himself and mutating his sound over a series of 10 inches. >corti< perfectly demonstrates spatials unconventional tendencies, lurching and buckling around a perfectly honed splatter of beats, off-centre synths and delirious vocal snippets. meanwhile on his remix of s-max, spatial flips the script once again with a stomping, swung techno angle that hammers the original into an uptempo, fist-pumping banger.

supported by: reboot, sascha dive, ricardo villalobos, markus fix, einzelkind… jax is back !!! after the revolver lp of christian burkhardt & einzelkind we are proud to bring a new face to the scene. max piske from heidelberg delivers two dancefloor anthems for jax. if you like it raw and dirty this on is for you. no more words we let the music do the talking...

after the echocord jubilee compilation we are now back with a new artist on echocord. we welcome sasu ripatti aka vladislav delay from finland. sasu is known from many projects, like luomo and from the moritz von oswald trio. now that sasu have the quartet where he can fully search for the acoustic music and jazz-influences and beyond, the vladislav delay solo stuff will be again focused on electronic experiments. these 2 tracks give a light on where the project is heading. something old, something new. the remix is from no one else than ricardo villalobos and max loderbauer.

the croatian wonderboy tristy nesh is back on absolut freak records, with the famous elektro frau xenia beliayeva. they had already met on the >little hip molecular ep< (af05), with a successful remix by beliayeva. now they come together with >acting sane<, a sweet electro excursion through dusty fields. john lord fonda, the french sensation from vitalics label citizen records, is also back on absolut freak after having done the very first remix on af01. this time, he gives a new huge remix, with even more melancholy and an amazing break. just brilliant! then, the latvian producer max brannslokker (author of some masterpieces such as the incredible >lust< on salto recordings, or >transition< on boxon records) delivers a great funky-beat version with his special jazzy vibe. back side, nicolas chenard comes again with a powerful techno sound on a smashing remix. at last, tristy nesh offers a new demonstration of his unique dirty loud sound with >turkish bass<, a dancefloor killer with no concession. vinyl lovers can enjoy the artwork by falk klemm from the zonders with a pantone color on the cover. already supported by david carretta, donovans, da fresh, teenage mutants...

milan based heels of love is made up of luca saponaro (from krautrock-disco hybrids the love supreme) and michele tessadri (aka fratelli riviera). the pair of them create incredible 80s-tinged, earthy, synthesized music with healthy dose of real instruments. after some nifty releases on mad on the moon and under the shade labels we are pleased to welcome them to the nang family. with an lp poised to drop later in the year, the welcome first dose is the train >chain gang<.
the track features the dulcet (and ever growing in confidence) vocals of tokyo based max essa. the original is a pacey combination of maxs devoesque song, driving drums and the wide-as analog bass synth from the italian duo. are we men? we certainly are.

the much anticipated follow up to last years balearic opus >panorama suite< by max essa. >heartache (original 86 club mix)< - this funky early nineties inspired house groove seems to be channeling all the best bits of fpi project yet manages to still sound brand new and wholeheartedly relevant. this track is heading for the dancefloor - unashamedly uplifting and funky - a real breath of fresh air. sample free and featuring max on vocals. i challenge you to not move to this. >feel it in your body< is a more chuggy, dubby affair featuring a vocal chant not dissimilar to e-man grooving. funky guitars groove the track along until the synths lift it up to the next level. trancey balearic synth slo-mo goodness.

we are sure max cooper does not refer here to one of traum boss triple rs favourite writer thomas pynchon but rather connects here to the technical terminus of the parabolic trajectory often mentioned as rainbow-shaped. nevertheless we wish to express that the transgressive quality of max music, does it question or break down the boundaries and categories of western culture and reason, is a challenge we have at traum always aimed at, with tracks that were very far away from the norm in the same way as maxs tracks are.

because we still love real stuff, this ep will be released on vinyl as well on a limited quantity. championned by artists such as sebastien leger of popof, max bett delivers a very soulful techno/tech-house music that aims straight to the clubs!

japan based, multi-instrumentalist, max essa, has done it again for us here in the bearfunk forest. his splendid second album >white shoes, blue dreams< has pleased the public and reviewers alike. the >midnight and dub direction ep< takes some of the albums finer moments and gives them a more dance-floor friendly, dubby makeover.
